in defense of Chessmaster, he is an honorable opponent and extremely talented many variants. I think he may have got himself in over his head with all the games he's playing. I played him first when I was a pawn and he annoyed me to hell. But after awhile, I realized it wasn't just him and, like grenv, I only take games with under 3 day/move limits. It could be a lot worse. There is a famous game on BK where one of the top ranked chess players is going to lose a game (down a bishop in an otherwise symmetrical endgame). Not only did he message his opponent saying that in revenge for having his draw offer spurned, he will move at the last minute every move in their 5 day/move game to prolong the game more than a year, but also is offering a draw every move as a further annoyance. It is shameful when so-called top players resort to those tactics. I guess you can see someone's true colors by how they behave when they lose. Chessmaster has never done anything like that, to my knowledge. So just take it as a lesson, as I did, to selectively play games with the proper time limit.
